understood that any such request made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day) and shall specify (i) the amount of Capital requested (which amount shall (x) not be less than $500,000 or a larger integral multiple of $100,000 and (y) not cause the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Sold Receivables, after giving effect to the addition of Pool Receivables to the Sold Receivables in connection with such Investment, to exceed the Aggregate Capital), (ii) the allocation of such amount among the Purchasers (which shall be ratable based on the Commitments) and (iii) the date such requested Investment is to be made (which shall be a Business Day). Unless the information in each Investment Request is also entered by Seller on-line in the Administrative Agent’s electronic “C.E.O.” portal, the requested Investment shall be subject to (and unless the Administrative Agent elects otherwise in the exercise of its sole discretion, such Investment shall not be funded until) satisfactory completion of the Administrative Agent’s authentication process.

(b)Funding Investments.

(i)On the date of each Investment specified in the applicable Investment Request, the Purchasers shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI and pursuant to the other conditions set forth in this Article II, deliver to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the account from time to time designated in writing by the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to such Purchaser’s ratable share of the amount of Capital requested. On the date of each Investment, the Administrative Agent will make available to Seller, in immediately available funds, at the Facility Account, the amount of such Capital funded by all Purchasers on such date.

(ii)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Purchaser, with a copy to Seller, prior to the proposed date of any Investment that such Purchaser will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Purchaser’s share of such Investment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Purchaser has made such share available on such date in accordance with the foregoing clause (b)(i) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Seller a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Purchaser has not in fact made its share of the applicable Investment available to the Administrative Agent, then such Purchaser agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent within two (2) Business Days after demand therefor, together with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount was made available to Seller to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Upon payment to the Administrative Agent by such Purchaser of such reimbursed Capital, together with interest as provided in the preceding sentence, then such Capital amount shall constitute such Purchaser’s Investment. In the event that such Purchaser does not reimburse the Administrative Agent in accordance with the preceding two sentences, then Seller shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for such Capital, together with interest thereon at the Alternate Base Rate, and any such payment by Seller shall be without prejudice to any claim Seller may have against a Purchaser that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(c)Each Purchaser’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Purchaser to make available to Seller any funds in connection with any Investment shall not relieve any other Purchaser of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date such Investments are requested (it being understood that no Purchaser shall be responsible for the failure of any other Purchaser to make funds available to Seller in connection with any Investment hereunder).

(d)Seller shall return in full the outstanding Capital of each Purchaser on Seller Obligation Final Due Date. Prior thereto, Seller shall, on each Settlement Date, reduce the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers to the extent required under Section 4.01 and otherwise in accordance with such Section 4.01 (subject to the priorities for payment set forth therein) by paying the amount of such reduction to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Purchasers in accordance with Section 4.02. Additionally, if on any Business Day Seller or the Master Servicer determines or is advised that a Capital Coverage Deficit exists, Seller shall within two (2) Business Days reduce the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers to the extent required to eliminate such Capital Coverage Deficit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller, in its discretion, shall have the right to reduce, in whole or in part by payment in accordance with Section 4.02, the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers on any Business Day upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser in the form of a Reduction Notice attached hereto as Exhibit II; provided, however, that (i) each such reduction shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, a reduction may be in an amount necessary to reduce any Capital Coverage Deficit existing at such time to zero and (ii) any accrued Yield and Fees in respect of the portion(s) of Capital so reduced shall be paid in full on the immediately following Settlement Date.

(e)Seller may, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, permanently reduce the Facility Limit to a level not less than $50,000,000; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Facility Limit shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000, (ii) in connection with any partial reduction in the Facility Limit, the Commitment of each Purchaser shall be ratably reduced. In addition, Seller may terminate the facility evidenced by this Agreement and reduce the Commitments to $0 by delivering an irrevocable Termination Notice to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers at least thirty (30) days prior to the desired effective date of such termination, together with Interim Reports beginning with the week in which such Termination Notice is delivered and ending with the week in which the Final Payout Date occurs.

(f)In connection with any partial or total reduction of the Commitments, Seller shall remit to the Administrative Agent (i) instructions regarding such reduction and (ii) for payment to the Purchasers, cash in an amount sufficient to pay (A) Capital of each Purchaser in excess of its Commitment as so reduced and (B) all other outstanding Seller Obligations with respect to such reduction (determined based on the ratio of the reduction of the Commitments being effected to the amount of the Commitments prior to such reduction or, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any portion of the outstanding Seller Obligations is allocable solely to that portion of the Commitments being reduced or has arisen solely as a result of such reduction, all of such portion). Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts first, to the reduction of the outstanding Capital, and second, to the payment of the remaining outstanding Seller Obligations with respect to such reduction, by paying such amounts to the Purchasers.

(g)Seller may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Purchasers), request one or more increases in the aggregate amount of the Commitments (each such increase, a “Commitment Increase”); provided that (i) both at the time of any such request and on the effective date of any Commitment Increase, no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event exists or will exist after giving effect to the requested Commitment Increase and each of the representations and warranties made by any Seller Party in or pursuant to any Transaction Document

shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); (ii) each requested Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000 or a larger integral multiple of $5,000,000 and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the Commitments after giving effect to any requested Commitment Increase shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by the Senior Credit Agreement, and (iii) each notice from Seller pursuant to this Section 2.08(g) shall set forth the requested amount of the Commitment Increase and proposed effective date of each requested Commitment Increase; and provided, further, that no Purchaser shall have any obligation to provide any portion of a requested Commitment Increase unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion. Each Commitment Increase will give rise to an increase in the Facility Limit in a like amount, and will be evidenced by an amendment, duly executed by the Persons required to be a party thereto under Section 13.01 or Section 13.03, as applicable (including, without limitation, each Purchaser or other Person that provides all or any portion of the requested Commitment Increase).

SECTION 2.03 Yield and Fees.

(a)On each Settlement Date, Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Purchaser and the Administrative Agent certain fees (collectively, the “Fees”) in the amounts set forth in the Fee Letter.

(b)Each Purchaser’s Capital shall accrue Yield on each day when such Capital remains outstanding at the then applicable Yield Rate for such Capital (or each applicable portion thereof). Seller shall pay all Yield and Fees accrued during each Yield Period on each Settlement Date.

(c)For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s obligation to pay all Fees and Yield hereunder when due shall not be contingent up the receipt or availability of Collections and to the extent any such amount is not otherwise paid on the related Settlement Date, such amount shall be paid on the following Settlement Date in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in Section 4.01.

SECTION 2.04 Records of Investments and Capital. Each Purchaser shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Investment made by the Purchasers hereunder, the Yield Rate with respect to the related Capital (and each portion thereof), the Yield accrued on such Purchasers’ Capital and each repayment and payment thereof. Subject to Section 13.03(c), such records shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The failure to so record any such information or any error in so recording any such information shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Seller hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to repay the Capital of each Purchaser, together with all Yield accruing thereon and all other Seller Obligations.

SECTION 2.05 Defaulting Purchasers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, then, until such time as that Purchaser is no longer a Defaulting Purchaser, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(a)Such Defaulting Purchaser’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 13.01(b).

(b)Any payment of Capital, Yield, Fees or other amounts received by the

Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Purchaser (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Purchaser pursuant to Section 13.16 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Purchaser to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as Seller may request (so long as no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event exists), to the funding of any Investment in respect of which such Defaulting Purchaser has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, so long as no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event exists, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Seller, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Purchaser’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Investments under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Administrative Agent or the other Purchasers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Administrative Agent or such other Purchaser against such Defaulting Purchaser as a result of such Defaulting Purchaser’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Seller as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Seller against such Defaulting Purchaser as a result of such Defaulting Purchaser’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Purchaser or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the Capital amount of any Investment in respect of which such Defaulting Purchaser has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Investment was made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Investments of all Purchasers that are not Defaulting Purchasers on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Investments of such Defaulting Purchaser until such time as all Investments are funded and held by the Purchasers pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Purchaser that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Purchaser, and each Purchaser irrevocably consents hereto.

(c)No Defaulting Purchaser shall be entitled to receive any Unused Fee (as defined in the Fee Letter) for any period during which that Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser (and Seller shall not be required to pay any such Unused Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Purchaser).

(d)If Seller and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Purchaser is no longer a Defaulting Purchaser, the Administrative Agent will so notify the other parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Purchaser will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Investments of the other Purchasers or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Investments to be funded on a pro rata basis by the Purchasers in accordance with their respective Percentages, whereupon such Purchaser will cease to be a Defaulting Purchaser; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Seller while that Purchaser was a Defaulting Purchaser; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Purchaser to Purchaser will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Purchaser’s having been a Defaulting Purchaser.

(e)At any time there is more than one Purchaser, Seller shall be permitted to

replace any Purchaser that becomes a Defaulting Purchaser; provided that Seller shall be permitted to replace any Purchaser which is the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof only if, in either case, the Administrative Agent is also replaced contemporaneously, pursuant to documents reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent has received payment of an amount equal to all amounts payable to the Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other Transaction Document; provided, further that (i) such replaced Purchaser shall have received payment of an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids payable to it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents from the assignee or Seller, (ii) the replacement Purchaser shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (iii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that Seller, the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser(s) shall have against the replaced Purchaser.t

SECTION 2.06 Divisions. For all purposes under the Transaction Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws), if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person.

ARTICLE III

SELLER GUARANTY

SECTION 3.01 Guaranty of Payment. Seller hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties the prompt payment of the Sold Receivables by the related Obligors and all other payment obligations included in the Sold Assets (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case, in full when due, whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise (such guaranty, the “Seller Guaranty”). The Seller Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. To the extent the obligations of Seller hereunder in respect to the Seller Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state or federal Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then such obligations of Seller shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (whether federal or state or otherwise and including the Federal Bankruptcy Code and any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws).

SECTION 3.02 Unconditional Guaranty. The obligations of Seller under the Seller Guaranty are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any Guaranteed Obligations, any Contract, any Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. Seller agrees that the Seller Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to any of the other Transaction Documents or any collateral, including the Sold Assets, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, Seller Obligations or otherwise, and Seller hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent or

the Purchasers to make demand on or proceed against any Obligor, the Originator, the Master Servicer or MSC or any other Person or to require the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Seller further agrees that no Person or Governmental Authority shall have any right to request any return or reimbursement of funds from the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers in connection with monies received under or in respect of the Seller Guaranty. Seller further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers from suing on any of the other Transaction Documents or foreclosing its or their, as applicable, security interest in or lien on the Sold Assets or any other collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or Seller Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it or them, as applicable, under any Transaction Document, or any other instrument of security and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of Seller’s obligations under the Seller Guaranty; it being the purpose and intent of Seller that its obligations under the Seller Guaranty shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither the Seller Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release, increase or limitation of the liability of any Obligor, the Originator, or the Master Servicer or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Obligor, the Originator, or the Master Servicer. Seller hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, accrual, or increase of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser on the Seller Guaranty or acceptance of the Seller Guaranty. All dealings between any Obligor, the Originator, the Master Servicer or Seller, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the Seller Guaranty. Seller hereby represents and warrants that it is, and immediately after giving effect to the Seller Guaranty and the obligation evidenced hereby, will be, Solvent. The Seller Guaranty and the obligations of Seller under the Seller Guaranty shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (A) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty of or other security for the payment of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to Amortization Events) of any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any guaranty or other security for the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (C) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (D) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though the Administrative Agent might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, (E) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any of the Sold Assets or other Seller Collateral, (F) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Seller, the Originator, the Master Servicer or any Obligor may allege or assert against the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser in respect of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and (G) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Seller as an obligor in respect of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 3.03 Modifications. Seller agrees that: (a) all or any part of any security interest, lien, collateral security or supporting obligation now or hereafter held for any Guaranteed Obligation may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) none of the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any security interest or lien now or hereafter held, if any, for the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) the time or place of payment of any Guaranteed Obligation may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) any Obligor, the Originator, Seller or the Master Servicer and any other party (including any co-guarantor) liable for payment of any Guaranteed Obligation may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of Contracts or any other agreements or documents governing or giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligation may be modified, amended or waived; and (f) any deposit balance for the credit of any Obligor, the Originator, the Master Servicer or Seller or any other party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment of any Guaranteed Obligation or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by Seller, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.

SECTION 3.04 Waiver of Rights. Seller expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law: (a) notice of acceptance of the Seller Guaranty by the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest or lien, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests or liens, if any; (e) all other notices, demands, presentments, protests or any agreement or instrument related to the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations to which Seller might otherwise be entitled; (f) any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser as a condition of payment or performance by Seller, to (A) proceed against any Obligor, the Originator, the Master Servicer or any other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other security held from any Obligor, the Originator, the Master Servicer, or any other Person, (C) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account, securities account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers or any other Person, or (D) pursue any other remedy in the power of the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers whatsoever; (g) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Obligor, the Originator, the Master Servicer or any other Person including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Obligor, the Originator, the Master Servicer or any other Person from any cause other than payment in full of the Sold Assets and the Guaranteed Obligations; (h) any defense based upon any Applicable Law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (i) any defense based upon the Administrative Agent’s or any Purchaser’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations; (j) (A) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Agreement and any legal or equitable discharge of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (B) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Seller’s liability under the Seller Guaranty or the enforcement of the Seller Guaranty, (C) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (D) promptness, diligence and any requirement that the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers protect, secure, perfect or insure any other security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; and (k) to the

fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Applicable Law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Agreement and the Seller Guaranty.

SECTION 3.05 Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the obligations of Seller under this Article III shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and Seller agrees that it will indemnify Administrative Agent and each Purchaser on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

SECTION 3.06 Remedies. Seller agrees that, as between Seller, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article X (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article X) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by Seller.

SECTION 3.07 Subrogation. Seller hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual or otherwise) to the claims of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties against any Obligor, the Originator, the Master Servicer, or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations until such time as all Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Final Payout Date has occurred. Seller further agrees that, to the extent such waiver of its rights of subrogation is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may have against any Obligor, the Originator, the Master Servicer, or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 3.08 Inducement. The Purchasers have been induced to make the Investments under this Agreement in part based upon the Seller Guaranty that Seller desires that the Seller Guaranty be honored and enforced as separate obligations of Seller, should Administrative Agent and the Purchasers desire to do so.

SECTION 3.09 Security Interest.

(a)To secure the prompt payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Seller Guaranty and all other Seller Obligations, Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and lien upon the following property and assets of Seller, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising and wherever located, including the following (collectively, the “Seller Collateral”): (i) all Unsold Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Unsold Receivables,

(iii) all Collections with respect to such Unsold Receivables, (iv) the Seller’s right in the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts and amounts on deposit therein, (v) all rights (but none of the obligations) of Seller in its capacity as the buyer under the Sale Agreement, (vi) all goods (including inventory, equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes), documents, accounts, chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), deposit accounts, securities accounts, securities entitlements, letter-of-credit rights, commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property, supporting obligations, money, any other contract rights or rights to the payment of money, insurance claims and proceeds, and all general intangibles (including all payment intangibles) (each as defined in the UCC), (vii) all other personal and fixture property or assets of Seller of every kind and nature and (vii) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing.

(b)The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have, with respect to all Seller Collateral, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements describing the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement.

(c)Immediately upon the occurrence of the Final Payout Date, Seller Collateral shall be automatically released from the lien created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Purchaser Parties hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to Seller Collateral shall revert to Seller; provided, however, that promptly following written request therefor by Seller delivered to the Administrative Agent following any such termination, and at the expense of Seller, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to Seller UCC-3 termination statements and such other documents as Seller shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(d)For the avoidance of doubt, the grant of security interest pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit or modify, the sale of Sold Assets pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or Seller’s grant of security interest pursuant to Section 5.05.

SECTION 3.10 Further Assurances. Promptly upon request, Seller shall deliver such instruments, assignments or other documents or agreements, and shall take such actions, as the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser deems reasonably appropriate to evidence or perfect its security interest and lien on any of Seller Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Article III.

ARTICLE IV

SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES AND PAYMENT PROVISIONS

SECTION 4.01 Settlement Procedures.

(a)The Master Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties (or, if so requested by the Administrative Agent when an Amortization Event exists,

segregate in a separate account designated by the Administrative Agent, which shall be an account maintained and controlled by the Administrative Agent unless the Administrative Agent otherwise instructs in its sole discretion), for application in accordance with the priority of payments set forth below, all Collections on Pool Receivables that are received by the Master Servicer or Seller or received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account); provided, however, that so long as each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.03 is satisfied on such date, (A) the Master Servicer may release to Seller from such Collections received on Unsold Receivables the amount (if any) necessary to pay the purchase price for Receivables purchased by Seller on such date in accordance with the terms of the Sale Agreement and (B) the Master Servicer may release to Seller all or a portion of such Collections received on Sold Receivables in exchange for Seller designating an equivalent amount (based on aggregate Outstanding Balances) of Unsold Receivables as new Sold Receivables on Seller’s books and records pursuant to Section 2.01(c), which new Sold Receivables will be automatically and immediately sold by Seller to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers) pursuant to Section 2.01(b) upon such release (each such release of Collections described in clauses (A) and (B) above, a “Release”). On each Settlement Date, the Master Servicer (or, from and after the Dominion Date, the Administrative Agent) shall, distribute such Collections in the following order of priority:

(i)first, to the Master Servicer for the payment of the accrued Servicing Fees payable for the immediately preceding Yield Period (plus, if applicable, the amount of Servicing Fees payable for any prior Yield Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to the Master Servicer);

(ii)second, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Purchaser and other Purchaser Party (ratably, based on the amount then due and owing), all accrued and unpaid Yield and Fees due to such Purchaser and other Purchaser Party for the immediately preceding Yield Period (including any additional amounts or indemnified amounts payable under Sections 5.01 and 5.03 in respect of such payments), plus, if applicable, the amount of any such Yield and Fees (including any additional amounts or indemnified amounts payable under Sections 5.01 and 5.03 in respect of such payments) payable for any prior Yield Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to such Purchaser or Purchaser Party;

(iii)third, as set forth in clause (x), (y) or (z) below, as applicable:

(x)prior to the occurrence of the Amortization Date and so long as the Interim Reports are not then being required to be delivered, to the extent that a Capital Coverage Deficit exists on such date, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Purchasers (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time) for the return of a portion of the outstanding Aggregate Capital at such time, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to reduce the Capital Coverage Deficit to zero ($0);

(y)on and after the occurrence of the Amortization Date, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Purchaser (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time) for the return in full of the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Purchaser at such time; or

(z)prior to the occurrence of the Amortization Date, at the election of Seller and in accordance with Section 2.02(d), to the Administrative Agent for

distribution to each Purchaser for the return of all or any portion of the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers at such time (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time);

(iv)fourth, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Purchaser Parties, the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties (ratably, based on the amount due and owing at such time), for the payment of all other Seller Obligations then due and owing by Seller to the Purchaser Parties, the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties; and

(v)fifth, the balance, if any, to be paid to Seller for its own account or such account as the Seller may direct.

Amounts payable pursuant to clauses first through fourth above shall be paid first from available Collections on Sold Receivables and other Sold Assets, and second, to the extent necessary in order to make all such payments in full, from Collections on Unsold Receivables and other Seller Collateral. Seller’s right to receive payments (if any) from time to time pursuant to clause fifth above shall, to the extent arising from Collections on Sold Receivables, constitute compensation to Seller for Seller’s provision of the Seller Guaranty and the Purchaser Parties’ interests in Seller Collateral.

(b)All payments or distributions to be made by the Master Servicer, Seller and any other Person to the Purchasers (or their respective related Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties), shall be paid or distributed to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the related Purchaser at its Purchaser’s Account. Each Purchaser, upon its receipt in the applicable Purchaser’s Account of any such payments or distributions, shall distribute such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties ratably; provided that if such Purchaser shall have received insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, such Purchaser shall pay such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties in accordance with the priority of payments forth above, and with respect to any such category above for which there are insufficient funds to pay all amounts owing on such date, ratably (based on the amounts in such categories owing to each such Person) among all such Persons entitled to payment thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4.01, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to distribute or pay any amount under this Section 4.01 except to the extent actually received by the Administrative Agent. Additionally, each Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to provide timely and accurate responses to each of the Administrative Agent’s requests for information necessary for the Administrative Agent to make the allocations to the Purchasers required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder, including the applicable account of each Purchaser for which amounts should be distributed.

(c)If and to the extent the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to any Person (including any Obligor or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received on its behalf hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by Seller and, accordingly, the Administrative Agent, such Purchaser Party, such Affected Person or such Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have a claim against Seller for such amount.

(d)For the purposes of this Section 4.01:

(i)if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced

or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount or other adjustment made by Seller, the Originator, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer, or any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, the Originator or any Affiliate of the Originator, or the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer, and an Obligor (any such reduction or adjustment, a “Dilution”), Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment and, to the extent that either (x) the effect of such Dilution is to cause a Capital Coverage Deficit or (y) such Dilution occurs on or after the Amortization Date or when an Amortization Event exists, shall within two (2) Business Days after written notice to, or knowledge thereof by, any Seller Party pay to a Collection Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time) for the benefit of the Purchaser Parties for application pursuant to Section 4.01(a), an amount equal to (x) if such Dilution occurs prior to the Amortization Date and at a time when no Amortization Event exists, the lesser of (A) the sum of all deemed Collections with respect to such Dilution and (B) the amount necessary to eliminate any Capital Coverage Deficit and (y) if such Dilution occurs on or after the Amortization Date or at any time when an Amortization Event exists, the sum of all deemed Collections with respect to such Dilution;

(ii)if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Section 7.01 is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full and, to the extent that either (x) the effect of such breach is to cause a Capital Coverage Deficit or (y) such breach occurs on or after the Amortization Date or when an Amortization Event exists, shall within two (2) Business Days after written notice to, or knowledge thereof by, any Seller Party pay to a Collection Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time) for the benefit of the Purchaser Parties for application pursuant to Section 4.01(a), an amount equal to (x) if such breach occurs prior to the Amortization Date and at a time when no Amortization Event exists, the lesser of (A) the sum of all deemed Collections with respect to such breach and (B) the amount necessary to eliminate any Capital Coverage Deficit and (y) if such breach occurs on or after the Amortization Date or at any time when an Amortization Event exists, the sum of all deemed Collections with respect to such breach (Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(i) and (ii) are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Deemed Collections”);

(iii)except as provided in clauses (i) or (ii) above or otherwise required by Applicable Law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables; and

(iv)if and to the extent the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by Seller and, accordingly, such Person shall have a claim against Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.

SECTION 4.02 Payments and Computations, Etc.

(a)All amounts to be paid by Seller or the Master Servicer to the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party hereunder shall be paid no later than noon (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the account(s) designated by the Administrative Agent. All amounts to be paid by any Purchaser to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be paid no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the account(s) designated by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Seller prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Purchasers hereunder that Seller (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) will not make such payment (including because Collections are not available therefor), the Administrative Agent may assume that Seller has made or will make such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Purchasers the amount due. In such event, if Seller (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) has not in fact made such payment and such payment is not recovered under the Seller Guaranty, then each Purchaser severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Purchaser, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(b)Each of Seller and the Master Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by it when due hereunder, at an interest rate per annum equal to 2.00% per annum above the Alternate Base Rate, payable on demand.

(c)All computations of interest under subsection (b) above and all computations of Yield, Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of amounts determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate, 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

INCREASED COSTS; FUNDING LOSSES; TAXES; ILLEGALITY AND BACK-UP
SECURITY INTEREST

SECTION 5.01 Increased Costs.

(a)Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Affected Person;

(ii)subject any Purchaser Party to any Taxes (except to the extent such Taxes are (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clause (b) through (d) of the definition of

Excluded Taxes or (C) Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)impose on any Affected Person any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) (A) affecting the Sold Assets, Seller Collateral, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any Capital or any participation therein or (B) affecting its obligations or rights to make Investments or fund or maintain Capital;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Person of (A) acting as the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser hereunder with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) making any Investment or funding or maintaining any Capital (or any portion thereof) or (C) maintaining its obligation to make any Investment or to fund or maintain any Capital (or any portion thereof), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Person hereunder, then, upon request of such Affected Person, Seller shall pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital and Liquidity Requirements. If any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law affecting such Affected Person or any lending office of such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of (x) increasing the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Affected Person or Affected Person’s holding company, if any, (y) reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital or on the capital of such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, or (z) causing an internal capital or liquidity charge or other imputed cost to be assessed upon such Affected Person or Affected Person’s holding company, if any, in each case, as a consequence of (A) this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (B) the commitments of such Affected Person hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, (C) the Investments made by such Affected Person, or (D) any Capital (or portion thereof), to a level below that which such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s policies and the policies of such Affected Person’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, upon request of such Affected Person, Seller will pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company for any such increase, reduction or charge.

(c)[Reserved].

(d)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of an Affected Person setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Seller, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Seller shall, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in Section 4.01, pay such Affected Person the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the first Settlement Date occurring after Seller’s receipt of such certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Seller shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such an Affected Person notifies the Seller of such Affected Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include

the period of such retroactive effect.

SECTION 5.02 [Reserved].

SECTION 5.03 Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment to a Purchaser Party, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03), the applicable Purchaser Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by Seller. Seller shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall indemnify each Purchaser Party, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Purchaser Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Purchaser Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by a Purchaser Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Purchaser Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Indemnification by the Purchasers. Each Purchaser shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Purchaser or any of its respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons (but only to the extent that Seller has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of Seller to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to the failure of such Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons to comply with Section 13.03(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Purchaser or any of its respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Purchaser by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser or any of its respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Purchaser or any of its respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons from any other source against any amount due to the

Administrative Agent under this clause (d).

(e)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.03, Seller shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f)Status of Purchasers. (i) Any Purchaser that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to Seller and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Purchaser, if reasonably requested by Seller or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Seller or the Administrative Agent as will enable Seller or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 5.03(f)(ii)(A), 5.03(f)(ii)(B) and 5.03(g)) shall not be required if, in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser.

(i)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A)a Purchaser that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Seller and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which any payments are made under any Transaction Document or on or about the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (whichever is earlier), and from time to time upon the reasonable request of Seller or the Administrative Agent, executed originals or copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Purchaser is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B)any Purchaser that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which any payments are made under any Transaction Document or on or about the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (whichever is earlier) and from time to time upon the reasonable request of Seller or the Administrative Agent, whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)in the case of such a Purchaser claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed originals or copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal

Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)executed originals or copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;

(3)in the case of such a Purchaser claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit X-1 to the effect that such Purchaser is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Seller as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals or copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4)to the extent such Purchaser is not the beneficial owner, executed originals or copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit X-2 or Exhibit X-3, as applicable, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if such Purchaser is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Purchaser are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Purchaser may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit X-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and

(C)any Purchaser that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), on or about the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement, and from time to time upon the reasonable request of Seller or the Administrative Agent, executed originals or copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit Seller or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(g)Documentation Required by FATCA. If a payment made to a Purchaser under

any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Purchaser shall deliver to Seller and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Seller and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(h)Status of Administrative Agent and Successor Master Servicer. On or before the date on which the Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, it shall deliver to Seller executed originals or copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax. Further, on or before the date on which a successor Master Servicer becomes the Master Servicer hereunder, it shall deliver to Seller executed originals or copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax.

(i)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser Party or any other Affected Person, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Seller Obligations and the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder.

(j)Updates. Each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent, and any successor Master Servicer agree that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 5.03 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Seller and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, in writing of its legal inability to do so.

SECTION 5.04 Circumstances Affecting Benchmark Availability; Change in Legality.

(a)Subject to Section 5.06, in connection with any request for any Investment accruing Yield at a rate based on Term SOFR or TSIR, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR or TSIR with respect to a proposed Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing Yield by reference to TSIR on any day or (ii) the Required Purchasers shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that TSIR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Purchasers of making or maintaining any such Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, on any day and, in the case of clause (ii), the Required Purchasers have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Seller. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Seller, any obligation of the Purchasers to make Investments accruing Yield at a rate based on TSIR and any right of Seller to request an Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing Yield at a rate based on TSIR, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable) until the

Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (ii), at the instruction of the Required Purchasers) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) Seller may revoke any pending request for a making of any Investment or Portion of Capital accruing Yield at a rate based on TSIR (to the extent of the affected Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable) or, failing that, Seller will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a making of an Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing Yield at the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, will be deemed to have been immediately converted into an Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing Yield at the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin with respect to any Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing yield at a rate based on TSIR.

(b)If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Purchasers (or any of their respective lending offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Purchasers (or any of their respective lending offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Investment accruing Yield at a rate based on TSIR, or to determine or charge Yield based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or TSIR, such Purchaser shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to Seller and the other Purchasers (an “Illegality Notice”). Thereafter, until each affected Purchaser notifies the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent notifies Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Purchasers to make any Investment accruing Yield at a rate based on TSIR and any right of Seller to convert any request for an Investment to an Investment accruing Yield at a rate based on TSIR, shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate.” Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, Seller shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Purchaser (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all affected Investments or Portions of Capital, as applicable to an Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing Yield at the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”) with respect to any Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing Yield at a rate based on the sum of the TSIR plus the Applicable Margin, on the last day of the Yield Period therefor, if all affected Purchasers may lawfully continue to maintain such Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing Yield at a rate based on TSIR to such day, or immediately, if any Purchaser may not lawfully continue to maintain such Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing Yield at a rate based on TSIR to such day.

SECTION 5.05 Back-Up Security Interest.

(a)If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties stated in Section 2.01(c), the sale, assignment and transfer of any Sold Assets to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers) hereunder (including pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) is not treated as a sale for all purposes (except as provided in Sections 2.01(d) and 13.14), then such sale, assignment and transfer of such Sold Assets shall be treated as the grant of a security interest by Seller to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers) to secure the payment and performance of all Seller’s obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (including all Seller Obligations). Therefore, as security for the performance by Seller of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of Seller to be performed under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including the punctual payment when due of the Aggregate Capital and all Yield and all other Seller Obligations, Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the Sold Assets, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising and this Agreement is a security agreement under the applicable UCC and other applicable law.

(b)The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have, with respect to all the Sold Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements describing the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement.

(c)For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the grant of security interest pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit or modify, the sale of Sold Assets pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or Seller’s grant of security interest pursuant to Section 3.09, (ii) nothing in Section 2.01 shall be construed as limiting the rights, interests (including any security interest), obligations or liabilities of any party under this Section 5.05, and (iii) subject to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), this Section 5.05 shall not be construed to contradict the intentions of the parties set forth in Section 2.01(c).

SECTION 5.06 No Warranty. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Purchaser warrants or accepts any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to Term SOFR, any rate based thereon, or with respect to any alternative, comparable or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted, will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the London interbank offered rate of any other replacement benchmark therefor, or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate or any other replacement benchmark therefor prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

SECTION 5.07 Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and Seller may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will

become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Purchasers and Seller so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Purchasers comprising the Required Purchasers. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 5.07 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.

Seller will pay the Master Servicer the Servicing Fee pursuant hereto. Seller will not incur any indirect or overhead expenses for items shared with the Master Servicer (or any other Affiliate thereof) that are not reflected in the Servicing Fee. To the extent, if any, that Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered; it being understood that MSC shall pay all expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, including legal, agency and other fees.

All financial statements of the Master Servicer, MSC, the Originator or any Affiliate thereof that are consolidated to include Seller (other than internally prepared financial statements) will disclose that (i) Seller is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of Seller’s assets prior to any assets or value in Seller becoming available to Seller’s equity holders and (ii) the assets of Seller are not available to pay creditors of the Master Servicer, MSC, the Originator or any Affiliate thereof.

(k)Segregation of Assets. Seller’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of the Master Servicer, MSC, the Originator or any Affiliates thereof.

(l)Organizational Formalities. Seller will strictly observe limited liability company

formalities in its dealings with the Master Servicer, MSC, the Originator or any Affiliates thereof, and funds or other assets of Seller will not be commingled with those of the Master Servicer, MSC, the Originator or any Affiliates thereof except as permitted by this Agreement in connection with servicing the Pool Receivables. Seller shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which the Master Servicer, MSC, the Originator or any Affiliate thereof (other than the Master Servicer solely in its capacity as such) has independent access. Seller is not named, and has not entered into any agreement to be named, directly or indirectly, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy with respect to any loss relating to the property of the Master Servicer, MSC, the Originator or any Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof. Seller will pay to the appropriate Affiliate the marginal increase or, in the absence of such increase, the market amount of its portion of the premium payable with respect to any insurance policy that covers Seller and such Affiliate.

Seller, the Master Servicer, MSC, the Originator and their respective Affiliates will immediately correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity.

(n)Allocation of Overhead. To the extent that Seller, on the one hand, and the Master Servicer, MSC, the Originator or any Affiliate thereof, on the other hand, have offices in the same location, jointly do business with vendors or service providers or otherwise share overhead expenses, there shall be a fair and appropriate allocation of such costs between them, and Seller shall bear its fair share of such expenses, which may be paid through the Servicing Fee or otherwise.

(o)Salaries. MSC shall not pay the salaries of Seller’s employees, if any.

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION
OF RECEIVABLES

SECTION 9.01 Appointment of the Master Servicer.

(a)The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 9.01. Until the Administrative Agent gives notice to MSC (in accordance with this Section 9.01) of the designation of a new Master Servicer following the occurrence of an Amortization Event, MSC is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent may and shall (at the direction of the Purchasers) designate as Master Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed MSC or any successor Master Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b)Upon the designation of a successor Master Servicer as set forth in clause (a) above, MSC agrees that it will terminate its activities as Master Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Master Servicer, and MSC shall cooperate with and assist such new Master Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of records (including all Contracts) related to Pool Receivables and use by the new Master Servicer of all licenses (or the obtaining of new licenses), hardware or software necessary or reasonably desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.

(c)MSC acknowledges that, in making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser have relied on MSC’s agreement to act as Master Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, MSC agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Master Servicer without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers.

(d)The Master Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each, a “Sub-Servicer”); provided that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the delegated duties and obligations of the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Master Servicer shall remain primarily liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) Seller, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser shall have the right to look solely to the Master Servicer for performance, (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrative Agent may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Master Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Master Servicer (and the Master Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer) and (v) if such Sub-Servicer is not an Affiliate of MSC, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation.

SECTION 9.02 Duties of the Master Servicer.

(a)The Master Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or reasonably advisable to service, administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all Applicable Laws, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies. The Master Servicer (and from and after the Dominion Date, the Administrative Agent) shall set aside, for the accounts of each Purchaser, the amount of Collections to which each such Purchaser is entitled in accordance with Article IV hereof. The Master Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, take such action, including

modifications, extensions of maturity, adjustments of Outstanding Balances, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and related Contracts, as the Master Servicer may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; and may require the Obligor of a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable to execute and deliver a promissory note to evidence its obligations on such Receivable; provided that, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent in writing, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver the original of any such promissory note in a principal amount exceeding (i) if an Amortization Event or a Potential Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing at such time, $0, or (ii) at any other time, $10,000, to the Administrative Agent; and provided, however, that for purposes of this Agreement: (i) such action shall not, and shall not be deemed to, change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such action shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of any Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (iii) if an Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Master Servicer may take such action only upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Seller shall deliver to the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Administrative Agent (individually and for the benefit of each Purchaser), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may direct the Master Servicer to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

(b)The Master Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to Seller the collections of any indebtedness owed to Seller that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if MSC or an Affiliate thereof is not the Master Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Master Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Master Servicer, if other than MSC or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to Seller all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.

(c)The Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the Final Payout Date. Promptly following the Final Payout Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to Seller all books, records and related materials that Seller previously provided to the Master Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Master Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.

SECTION 9.03 Collection Account Arrangements. On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have entered into Control Agreements with all of the Collection Banks and delivered executed counterparts of each to the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent may and shall (upon the direction of any Purchaser) at any time thereafter deliver a Notice of Exclusive Control to each Collection Bank. Seller hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables, and Seller hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by Seller or the Master Servicer after the Dominion Date shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrative Agent. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that if at any time the Administrative Agent takes control of any Collection Account (and any such related Lock-Box),

the Administrative Agent shall not have any rights to the funds therein in excess of the unpaid amounts due to the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers or any other Person hereunder, and the Administrative Agent shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with Section 4.01 and Article II (in each case as if such funds were held by the Master Servicer thereunder).

SECTION 9.04 Enforcement Rights.

(a)At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Amortization Event:

(i)the Administrative Agent (at Seller’s expense) may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee;

(ii)the Administrative Agent may instruct Seller or the Master Servicer to give notice of the Secured Parties’ interest in Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and Seller or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of Seller or the Master Servicer, as the case may be; provided that if Seller or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor within two (2) Business Days following instruction by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent (at Seller’s or the Master Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors;

(iii)the Administrative Agent may request the Master Servicer to, and upon such request the Master Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Master Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrative Agent or its designee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) at a place selected by the Administrative Agent and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrative Agent or its designee;

(iv)the Administrative Agent may (and shall, at the direction of the Required Purchasers) deliver Notices of Exclusive Control to the Collection Banks;

(v)the Administrative Agent may (or, at the direction of the Required Purchasers shall) replace the Person then acting as Master Servicer; and

(vi)the Administrative Agent may collect any amounts due from the Originator under the Sale Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent upon an Amortization Event are in addition to and not exclusive of the rights and remedies contained herein and under the other Transaction Documents.

(b)Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of

substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of Seller, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of Seller and on behalf of Seller necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Amortization Event, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Sold Assets and Seller Collateral, including endorsing the name of Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Sold Assets and Seller Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.

SECTION 9.05 Responsibilities of Seller.

(a)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Seller shall perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, or any other Purchaser Party of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve Seller from such obligations. None of the Purchaser Parties shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Sold Assets or Seller Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of Seller, the Master Servicer or the Originator thereunder.

(b)MSC hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Master Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Master Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Master Servicer and, in such capacity, MSC shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that MSC conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Master Servicer.

SECTION 9.06 Servicing Fee.

(a)Subject to clause (b) below, Seller shall pay the Master Servicer a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to 1.00% per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) of the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables. Accrued Servicing Fees shall be payable from Collections to the extent of available funds in accordance with Section 4.01.

(b)If the Master Servicer ceases to be MSC or an Affiliate thereof, the Servicing Fee shall be the greater of: (i) the amount calculated pursuant to clause (a) above and (ii) an alternative amount specified by the successor Master Servicer not to exceed 110% of the aggregate reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such successor Master Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Master Servicer hereunder.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent’s servicing, administering or collecting Pool Receivables in the event it replaces the Master Servicer in such capacity pursuant to Section 9.01), in the absence of its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Purchaser Party or the Master Servicer), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not

be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Purchaser Party (whether written or oral) and shall not be responsible to any Purchaser Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made by any other party in or in connection with this Agreement; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of any Purchaser Party or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Purchaser Party; (d) shall not be responsible to any Purchaser Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (e) shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

SECTION 11.03 Administrative Agent and Affiliates. With respect to any Investment or interests therein owned by any Purchaser Party that is also the Administrative Agent, such Purchaser Party shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Purchaser Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with Seller or any Affiliate thereof and any Person who may do business with or own securities of Seller or any Affiliate thereof, all as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party.

SECTION 11.04 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Each Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Seller or any Affiliate thereof), ratably according to the respective Percentage of such Purchaser, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that no Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 11.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

SECTION 11.06 Action or Inaction by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Purchasers or the Required Purchasers, as the case may be, and assurance of its indemnification by the Purchasers, as it deems appropriate. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or at the direction of the Purchasers or the Required Purchasers, as the case may be, and such request or direction and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Purchaser Parties. The Purchaser Parties and the Administrative Agent agree that unless any action to be taken by the Administrative Agent under a Transaction Document (i) specifically requires the advice or concurrence of all Purchasers or (ii) may be

taken by the Administrative Agent alone or without any advice or concurrence of any Purchaser, then the Administrative Agent may take action based upon the advice or concurrence of the Required Purchasers.

SECTION 11.07 Notice of Amortization Events; Action by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from any Purchaser Party or Seller stating that a Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event has occurred hereunder and describing such Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event. If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Purchaser. The Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, concerning a Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event or any other matter hereunder as the Administrative Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Secured Parties.

SECTION 11.08 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Parties. Each Purchaser Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Seller or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent. Each Purchaser Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of Seller, the Originator, MSC or the Master Servicer and the Pool Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document. Except for items expressly required to be delivered under any Transaction Document by the Administrative Agent to any Purchaser Party, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser Party with any information concerning Seller, the Originator, MSC or the Master Servicer that comes into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

SECTION 11.09 Successor Administrative Agent.

(a)The Administrative Agent may at any time give written notice of its resignation to the Purchasers and Seller at least thirty (30) days prior to such date of resignation. Except as provided below, such resignation shall not become effective until the Purchasers shall have appointed, with, prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the consent of MSC, to a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment within ninety (90) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Purchasers) (the “Resignation Closing Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Purchasers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Closing Date. Upon resignation or replacement of any Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 11.09, the retiring Administrative Agent shall execute or authorize the filing of such UCC-3 assignments and amendments, and assignments and amendments of the Transaction Documents, as may be necessary to give effect to its replacement by a successor Administrative Agent. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions

of Article XII and this Article XI shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

(b)If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Purchaser pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Purchasers may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by written notice in writing to Seller and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with Seller, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after delivery of such notice (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Purchasers) (the “Removal Closing Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Closing Date.

(c)With effect from the Resignation Closing Date or the Removal Closing Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers under any of the Transaction Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Purchaser directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Purchasers appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Closing Date or the Removal Closing Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Seller to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Seller and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Article XI and Article XII shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective and their respective assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 12.02 Indemnification by the Master Servicer. Without limiting any other rights that any Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Master Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities (including Attorney Costs) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Master Servicer Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of or resulting from (whether directly or indirectly): (i) the failure of any information contained in a Monthly Report or Interim Report to be true and correct, or the failure of any other information provided to any Purchaser or the Administrative Agent by, or on behalf of, the Master

This Section 12.02 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

ARTICLE XIII

(a)Assignment by Purchasers. Each Purchaser may assign to any Eligible Assignee or to any other Purchaser all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and any Capital or interests therein owned by it); provided, however, that:

(i)except for an assignment by a Purchaser to either an Affiliate of such Purchaser or any other Purchaser, each such assignment shall require the prior written consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required if an Amortization Event or a Potential Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing);

(ii)each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(iii)the amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than the lesser of (x) $5,000,000 and (y) all of the assigning Purchaser’s Commitment; and

(b)Register. The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, maintain at its address referred to on Schedule E of this Agreement (or such other address of the Administrative Agent notified by the Administrative Agent to the other parties hereto), which shall be an office located in the United States, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers, the Commitment of each Purchaser and the aggregate outstanding Capital (and stated Yield) of each Purchaser from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Seller, the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers, and the other Purchaser Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as a Purchaser under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Seller, the Master Servicer or any Purchaser at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c)Procedure. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed and delivered by an assigning Purchaser and an Eligible Assignee or assignee Purchaser, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been duly completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to Seller and the Master Servicer.

(d)Participations. Each Purchaser may sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and its Capital and Yield thereon); provided, however, that:

(i)such Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to Seller hereunder) shall remain unchanged, and

(ii)such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations.

The Administrative Agent, the other Purchasers, Seller and the Master Servicer shall have the right to continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Seller agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.01 and 5.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.03(f) and Section 5.03(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.03(f) and Section 5.03(g) shall be delivered to the participating Purchaser)) to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or 5.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Purchaser would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(e)Participant Register. Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the Capital (and stated Yield) participated to each Participant, together with each Participant’s interest in the other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Capital, Yield or its other obligations under any this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Capital, Yield or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f)Assignments by Administrative Agent and Purchasers. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser herein shall be assignable by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, as the case may be, and its successors and assigns; provided that in the case of an assignment to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, so long as no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, such assignment shall require the Master Servicer’s and Seller’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(g)Assignments by Seller or the Master Servicer. Neither Seller nor, except as provided in Section 9.01, the Master Servicer may assign any of its respective rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser (such consent to be provided or withheld in the sole discretion of such Person).

(h)Pledge to a Federal Reserve Bank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) any Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its interest in, to and under this Agreement (including, without limitation, rights to payment of Capital and Yield) and any other Transaction Document to secure its obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or the consent of Seller, the Master Servicer,

any Affiliate thereof or any Purchaser Party; provided, however, that that no such pledge shall relieve such assignor of its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 13.04 Costs and Expenses.

In addition, Seller agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties and their respective Affiliates, incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of their respective rights or remedies under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

SECTION 13.05 No Proceedings; Limitation on Payments.

(a)Each of the Administrative Agent, the Master Servicer, each Purchaser and each assignee of Capital or any Yield thereof or of any other Seller Obligations, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, Seller any Insolvency Proceeding until one year and one day after the Final Payout Date.

(b)The provisions of this Section 13.05 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 13.06 Confidentiality.

(a)Each of Seller and the Master Servicer covenants and agrees to hold in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, the terms of this Agreement or the Fee Letter (including any fees payable in connection with this Agreement, the Fee Letter or any other Transaction Document or the identity of the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser Party), except as the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser may have consented to in writing prior to any proposed disclosure; provided, however, that it may disclose such information (i) to its Advisors and Representatives, (ii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through Seller, the Master Servicer or their Advisors and Representatives or (iii) to the extent it should be (A) required by Applicable Law, or in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding (including, without limitation, filings required under applicable rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) or (B) requested by any Governmental Authority to disclose such information; provided that, in the case of clause (iii) above, Seller and the Master Servicer will use reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and will (unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law) notify the

Administrative Agent and the affected Purchaser Party of its intention to make any such disclosure prior to making such disclosure. Each of Seller and the Master Servicer agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Section by its Representatives and Advisors and agrees that its Representatives and Advisors will be advised by it of the confidential nature of such information and shall agree to comply with this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that each of Seller, the Master Servicer and their respective Affiliates may publish a press release or otherwise publicly announce the existence and principal amount of the Commitments under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that the Administrative Agent shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review such press release or other public announcement prior to its release and provide comment thereon; and provided, further, that no such press release shall name or otherwise identify the Administrative Agent, any other Purchaser Party or any of their respective Affiliates without such Person’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller consents to the publication by the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser Party of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)Each of the Administrative Agent and each other Purchaser Party, severally and with respect to itself only, agrees to hold in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, any confidential and proprietary information concerning Seller, the Master Servicer and their respective Affiliates and their businesses or the terms of this Agreement (including any fees payable in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents), except as Seller or the Master Servicer may have consented to in writing prior to any proposed disclosure; provided, however, that it may disclose such information (i) to its Advisors and Representatives, (ii) to its Eligible Assignees and Participants and potential Eligible Assignees and Participants and their respective counsel but only if they agree in a signed writing to hold such information confidential under substantially the same terms as those in this Section 13.06(b) and that Seller and MSC are third party beneficiaries to such confidentiality agreement, (iii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through it or its Representatives or Advisors, (iv) at the request of a bank examiner or other regulatory authority or in connection with an examination of any of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser or their respective Affiliates or (v) to the extent it should be (A) required by Applicable Law, or in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding or (B) requested by any Governmental Authority to disclose such information; provided, that, in the case of clause (v) above, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser will use reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and will (unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law) notify Seller and the Master Servicer of its making any such disclosure as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, severally and with respect to itself only, agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Section by its Representatives and Advisors and agrees that its Representatives and Advisors will be advised by it of the confidential nature of such information and shall agree to comply with this Section.

(c)As used in this Section, (i) “Advisors” means, with respect to any Person, such Person’s accountants, attorneys and other confidential advisors and (ii) “Representatives” means, with respect to any Person, such Person’s Affiliates, Subsidiaries, directors, managers, officers, employees, members, investors, financing sources, insurers, professional advisors, representatives and agents; provided that such Persons shall not be deemed to Representatives of a Person unless (and solely to the extent that) confidential information is furnished to such Person.

EACH OF SELLER AND THE MASTER SERVICER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

SECTION 13.12 Ratable Payments. If any Purchaser Party, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any Seller Obligations in a greater proportion than that received by any other Purchaser Party entitled to receive a ratable share of such Seller Obligations, such Purchaser Party agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Seller Obligations held by the other Purchaser Parties so that after such purchase each Purchaser Party will hold its ratable proportion of such Seller Obligations; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser Party, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

SECTION 13.13 Limitation of Liability.

(a)No claim may be made by Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person against any Purchaser Party or their respective Affiliates, members, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith; and each of Seller and the Master Servicer hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. None of the Purchaser Parties and their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of Seller or any Affiliate thereof in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by Seller or any Affiliate thereof result from the breach of contract, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Purchaser Party in performing its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(b)The obligations of the Administrative Agent and each of the other Purchaser Parties under this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents are solely the corporate obligations of such Person. No recourse shall be had for any obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement or any other Transaction Document against any member, director, officer, employee or incorporator of any such Person.

SECTION 13.14 Intent of the Parties. Seller has structured this Agreement with the intention that the obligations of Seller hereunder (including the obligation to return Capital to the Purchasers and make payments of Yield thereon) will be treated under United States federal, and applicable state, local and foreign tax law as debt (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Seller, the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties agree to file no tax return, or take any action, inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment unless required by law or unless required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Each assignee and each Participant acquiring an interest in an Investment, by its acceptance of such assignment or participation, agrees to comply with the immediately preceding sentence.

SECTION 13.15 Patriot Act. Each of the Administrative Agent and each of the other Purchaser Parties hereby notifies Seller and the Master Servicer that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “PATRIOT Act”), the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Seller, the Originator, the Master Servicer and MSC, which information includes the name, address, tax identification number and other information regarding Seller, the Originator, the Master Servicer and MSC that will allow the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties to identify Seller, the Originator, the Master Servicer and MSC in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the PATRIOT Act. Each of Seller and the Master Servicer agrees to provide the Administrative Agent and each other Purchaser Parties, from time to time, with all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 13.16 Right of Setoff. Each Purchaser Party is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have), at any time during the continuance of an Amortization Event, to setoff, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Purchaser Party (including by any branches or agencies of such Purchaser Party) to, or for the account of, Seller or the Master Servicer against amounts owing by Seller or the Master Servicer hereunder (even if contingent or unmatured); provided that such Purchaser Party shall notify Seller or the Master Servicer, as applicable, promptly following such setoff, and provided further, that if any Defaulting Purchaser shall exercise any such right of set-off, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Purchaser from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers and (ii) the Defaulting Purchaser shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Purchaser as to which it exercised such right of set off. Each Purchaser agrees promptly to notify Seller and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Purchaser, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.

SECTION 13.17 Severability. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or

unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 13.18 Mutual Negotiations. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are the product of mutual negotiations by the parties thereto and their counsel, and no party shall be deemed the draftsperson of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any provision hereof or thereof or to have provided the same. Accordingly, in the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, such inconsistency or ambiguity shall not be interpreted against any party because of such party’s involvement in the drafting thereof.

SECTION 13.19 Captions and Cross References. The various captions (including the table of contents) in this Agreement are provided solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Agreement to any Section, Schedule or Exhibit are to such Section Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement, as the case may be, and references in any Section, subsection, or clause to any subsection, clause or subclause are to such subsection, clause or subclause of such Section, subsection or clause.

SECTION 13.20 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Transaction Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and, each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the FDIC under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Transaction Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Transaction Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Transaction Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
